Trump exists in a world of fantasy. He recently said that ‘the FBI ruined Michael Flynn’s life,’ and that Hillary should have been punished. Really?
It appears to me that Michael Flynn ruined Michael Flynn’s life by lying and simply by being an a**hole. You may remember that it was Flynn who began the chant “lock her up” at the Republican Convention in July of 2016. Irony is the word.
“Hillary Clinton lied many times to the FBI, nothing happened to her,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “Flynn lied and they destroyed his life. I think it’s a shame.”
I don’t remember any intentional lies from Hillary, but I do consider conspiring with the Russians a traitorous act.
Speaking of lies, a 22nd woman has come forward and accused Trump of sexual assault. According to Trump, they are all lying, and he is an ‘honest and virtuous man.’ Really!
Here’s the truth about Trump; he is running scared. Robert Mueller now has full access to the inner workings of Trump’s campaign. I have no doubt that Flynn will give up what he knows rather than go to federal prison. Trump knows this as he continues to make attempts to misdirect attention from the investigation into his complicit activities with Vladimir Putin.
The amount of circumstantial evidence is overwhelming. As of this date 19 Russian agents had contact with members of Trump’s campaign staff. Trump began his personal association with Putin in 2005, and renewed it in 2013. Since his nomination, Trump has offered multiple gestures to Putin, including a closed door meeting in the Oval Office between Ambassador/Spy Sergey Kislyak, and Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov. In my mind, the investigation is complete and Trump, Flynn, Sessions, Kushner, and Don Jr. are guilty as hell. “Lock them up.”
Accepting that we are occasionally wrong is human, and the intelligent thing to do. Trump does not fit either of those conditions.
Please re-post; thank you.
